Fxus64 kjan 180142 aab afdjan area forecast discussion... Updated national weather service jackson ms 842 pm cdt Sat aug 17 2019 Update Updated for evening discussion. Discussion No major adjustments are needed for tonight's forecast. Mostly clear conditions prevail across the region with lingering isolated shower activity from earlier in the day having all but entirely diminished. Thanks to slight airmass modification and weak return flow, low temps Sunday morning will be slightly higher than they were this morning. Given the slight moistening of the airmass, it isn't out of the realm of possibility that patchy fog will develop in a few areas overnight. At this point we don't expect it to be widespread enough to mention in the public forecast. Some slight tweaks were made to hourly temps and dewpoints to account for observational trends. Forecast updates have been published. Dl prior discussion below: tonight and tomorrow: it has been another warm day across the region as temperatures have reached into the lower to mid 90s. A few spots in eastern mississippi have reached closer to the upper 90s, but this is where some of driest air has been able to mix down. Dewpoints are ranging from the lower 70s in the west to the upper to mid 60s in the east. Heat indices have been kept fairly well in check because of this with most locations seeing MAX heat indices around 100 to 101. As the ridge remains over the region, moisture will slowly continue to increase across the region. This will mean a little more in the way of showers and storms tomorrow, with the most likely area being across southern counties and western parishes. This should be where the best moisture resides as well. Temperatures tomorrow will again be in the mid 90s, but additional cloud cover and rain chances suggest that some of these highs could fall short. In addition, dewpoints will be higher tomorrow, which will help increase heat index values. Inherited limited risk for tomorrow could be ok but new guidance suggests that we might fall just shy of the near 105 degree threshold. The best location for this would be generally along and west of the ms river, but opted not to continue at this time for tomorrow. Drier air should hold on in the east and this is where heat indices will hover around 100 degrees. 28 Sunday night through late next week: warm, humid & active week of storms is expected through next week. The mid-level ridge will have begun to retrograde to the west, leading to perturbed pattern with north-northeasterly flow aloft. This will gradually transition to the ridge axis to build west. However, with a shortwave trough moving through the region on Monday, we should actually keep good low-level convergence along a washed out boundary & some isentropic lift & increased moisture near the 2 inch mark. Weak troughing aloft will set up over the appalachians & east coast, with perturbed shortwave energy situated just over us through mid-late week. With the surface ridge of high pressure building to the northeast & building mid-level ridge, this will lead to increase in dewpoints into the mid-upper 70s & increasing heat & humidity through the week. With increasing

subsidence & slight drying aloft, we should have a little less coverage of convection across the northwest delta & northern areas. A longwave trough will swing through the great lakes & canada, bringing another front & higher coverage of storms down into the mid- south & mid-mississippi valley around Thursday into the weekend. The euro continues to depict a persistent tropical wave & some surface reflection in the west-northwest gulf by late next week. Nothing to be concerned at the moment but may be something to keep an eye on, even if it at most only increases deeper tropical moisture & heavy rain potential after into next weekend. In terms of sensible weather, expect rain & storms to be on the increase, especially on Monday as shortwave trough swings through the area & stalls across the region through mid-week. Due to these scattered storm chances, heat stress may be a little more confined to the delta or slightly harder to come by Monday. However, with building mid-level ridge through mid-week & increasing thermal warmth, we should be able to reach near or a few degrees above the 105 degree mark, especially around mid-week (i.E. Tuesday- Wednesday). Decided to keep a "limited" heat stress in the hwo graphics potential to the arklamiss delta due to more isolated- scattered diurnal convection in this area. However, extended it east across the highway 82 corridor as that seems to be a typical hot spot, especially in the golden triangle. There remains potential for an "elevated" & heat advisory across the delta but confidence remains low due to scattered coverage. As mentioned before, there remains favorable juxtaposition of perturbed flow, lapse rates vertical totals & microburst composite parameters for some organized wet microburst potential & gusty winds. There might be some organized convective potential on Monday & also on Wednesday from any complex off in the ozarks, but there remains enough question marks to assess potential as we get closer. Dc Aviation 00z TAF discussion: vfr conditions will prevail for the majority of the TAF period. Patchy fog may reduce visibilities at a site or two late tonight, with conditions improving by daybreak. Isolated to scattered shra tsra are possible across the area late Sunday morning through the afternoon, but confidence in timing at any particular site was too low for inclusion in the taf.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
